Using your Fender Blockchain Patch Cable Kit is a breeze. First, make sure your pedal board is powered off. Then, simply connect the right - angle connectors of the patch cables to your stompboxes. The low - profile connectors are easy to plug in and won't take up much space. When you're done, power on your pedal board and enjoy the great sound. As for maintenance, keep the cables away from sharp objects to avoid damage to the PVC jacket. If the cables get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe them. Also, when storing the cables, try to coil them loosely to prevent kinking. Don't pull the cables too hard when disconnecting them to protect the connectors. With proper use and care, your Fender Blockchain Patch Cable Kit will serve you well for a long time.
